that's no problem at all considering the multiple pokemon we are going to have after this generation
and like it or not, since gen III box legends have always had a third legend to go with it

True, but that was coz there was always going to be a third version. Post bw2 that is no longer true.
I actually don't mind a quartet infact. Just something different. A quartet would make more sense if they pulled another bw2.
@your boss: I don't think we will ht 800+ pokes this gen.

trios are most likely going to stay a tradition for the main legends whether you like it or not.
there are trio masters, technically making it a quartet, but still not necessarily

The think is that most of these legends have almost no backstory behind them. They just become a way for GF to distribute events and stuff.

that is not necessarily true, as almost every legend this past generation have had a backstory to them, if GF introduces a lot of legends, they won't just screw it up, GF is a business they learn from the past i do not see why they would digress into legends with no backstory to them again

If I recall correctly, only the Bird Trio and Lati@s have none and I think Heatran too which is just 6 legendaries out of the 40+ legendaries. At least Generation V's legendaries all have a story along with Generation II.

Most of the legends of gen 4 and 5 did have their own back story, but, it was small and was largely independent of the main story line. IMO, that should change. Maybe bring these legends into the main story, or cut on the number.

why would they have to cut the number?
they have never decreased the number of legends
also i am pretty sure a handful of legends isn't a big deal compared to the 600+ pokemon we have and will be much more after this gen

Ur not getting my point. What I'm trying to say is that it would be better if we could include all the legendaries into the main story line. If GF finds it difficult to give 10 or so legends a significant role in the main story, then they can always reduce it to maybe 5 or something.

while that would be cool, do you have any idea how difficult it would be to incorporate 13 or more legends into the main storyline? this isn't a huge skyrim or assassin's creed storyline, this is for a handheld.
and that would be no excuse to reduce the legend amount, as GF would be criticized for laziness. if they have a backstory, isn't that enough

Why in the world would they be criticized for laziness ??
Seriously, I feel for GF, they get criticized for anything they do.

regardless, people will bash them for being lazy
a multimillion dollar company is going to get criticized for anything they do wrong
the bigger the company is, the harder things are to control, kind of like the faster you go in a car, the smaller movements have big effects
so they are going to know to watch their step many people would flip if they lower it, especially if they lower the amount to 5

Hmmm...., I always thought that most people would welcome a smaller pool of legends, coz many people say that there are too many legends and it's never going to be like gen 1 and 2.
This fandom is highely divided, what may seem good for some may be bad for others. I don't think GF cares too much, coz they their fans are going to play no matter what. They just make good games not care about these small issues that not everybody will like.

those my friend, are what you call genwunners and piss on everything GF does because tepig isn't like charmander
(no joke)
and of course they care, because if they screwed up so much as only putting in 5 legends, MANY of the fanbase would be upset and most (believe it or not) won't play and as they say in business, "you do not want to lose your regulars"

about Xerneas?
sure fairy type could happen but i don't think Xerneas would be under that category

i really want more dark legends and bug legends (maybe more grass)
also it is time for a poison legend, i can see one based off of mercury, and being steel/poison
it could learn a steel move that has a 30% chance of poisoning your opponent
also if it has levitate, it would have one weakness and that being fire

Zekrom and Reshiram were revealed on May 28th, 2010, and had their types partially revealed-Dragon-Types. Them being Dragon/Fire and Dragon/Electric was revealed on June 11th, not even a full month later. Xerny and Yvey have been known about for 3 months and 19 days, over double as long! Why you no reveal types GF????

Going by the Yggdrasil Theory:

Yvetal-Ghost/Flying-Gawd, I'd never guess it's Flying! But anyway, the Blind Yggdrasil Eagle or Falcon (Can't remember!) could see into people's souls, right? And the fact it's a bird. So yeah. Flying. I could see it have an ability were it has a 10% chance of a Physical attack not hitting it, as well as avoiding Stealth Rock. Has Serperior/Tornadus-T like stats, but as it has a higher BST (Probably 680) it could afford higher HP and Attack. Probably be Physical, and I see it knowing primarily Flying-Type Moves, Ghost-Type Moves, Fighting-Type Moves and Slashing-Moves. A Night Slash/*New Ghost Sig Claw Move*/Acrobatics or Brave Bird/Fighting Move of your choice would make a very dangerous movepool. It with Drain Punch 0_o

Xerneas-Fairy/Electric (New Types Included) or Psychic/Electric-It's a majestic deer, and Europe is famous for Fairy-Tales. Psychic is like the closest real type to it, so that if not Fairy. Electric because the branch-horns and gems remind me of Christmas lights. An ability that gives you a 10% chance of dodging any Special Attack, and stops entry hazards. Has a Reshiram-like spread, with lower attack, slightly higher special defense, lower defense, higher HP and higher speed. A movepool of *New Fairy or Psychic Sig Move*/Thunder(bolt)/Ice Beam/*Fire or Fighting Move* would rock. Probably.
